Real home: bedroom ideas

We're looking to get a house within the next year and I'm getting excited about all the possibilities. Okay, I won't live in one of my dream homes, but I can make it my dream home. Instead of rushing it and wasting money, I really want to plan step by step. Some of my favorite homes are typical - Making It Lovely and Young House Love's current home.

I decided to start with my bedroom and a few of my favorites from Pinterest and other blogs.

Okay, this looks like a dorm, but I like the color on the ceiling and the coziness of this room.

Thankfully the bedroom is simple.
